The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1680

“There is one more thing.

Be wary of the Glyn family lately,” Bryson warned.

Since Melina’s plans had failed, she would likely cause trouble for Hannah.

Taking a deep breath, Hannah replied with a cool detachment, “I’m not concerned.

If they think they can harm me, let them try!”

“I will arrange for bodyguards to accompany you for the next few days.

Try to stay inside the hotel,” Bryson suggested.

Hannah consented and then hung up, muttering to herself, “Now I’ll just die of boredom in this hotel.

”

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Melina was wreaking havoc, smashing anything within reach.

Ever since she had awakened, her mood had been wildly erratic.

The doctors had administered several tranquilizers, but each time she awoke, she became uncontrollable.

Her father had stopped visiting after the first few times.

Only her mother, Adeline, visited occasionally.

One day, Adeline entered the chaotic ward to find the floor littered with debris again.

Melina lay on the bed, staring out the window in an eerie silence.

Adeline handed her sunglasses to someone nearby and surveyed the room.

Fixing her gaze on Melina, she spoke in a frosty tone.

“When will you stop this nonsense? I’m your mother, I know what’s really going on.

You’re not sick at all.

”

Turning her head slowly, Melina fixed a steady gaze on Adeline and said in a hoarse voice, “Mom, I’m your daughter!”

“Yes, you are my daughter,” Adeline replied, walking closer and looking at Melina from a short distance.

“That’s why I come to see you every day.

”

Melina suddenly sneered, a look

of despair in her eyes.

“I heard what you said that day.

To you, I’m just worth 60 million! You want to marry me off to Tyshawn for 60 million!” Then she erupted hysterically, “You know I like Bryson! Why would you marry me off to that bastard Tyshawn? Why?”

Adeline maintained her composed expression and responded, “I know you like Bryson, and that’s why I’ve tried to bring you two together.

But you’ve really disappointed me.

Has he fallen in love with you after all these years? Franco refused the engagement between our families.

And now, with such a scandal surrounding you, do you think Bryson will ever marry you?”

Stung by her mother’s words, Melina leapt from the bed, her eyes bloodshot with fury.

“He will! I have other ways to make him marry me!”

Mrs.

Glyn’s gaze was icy as she looked at Melina.

“You’ve had ample time, but you still haven’t managed to be with Bryson.

Your father is very disappointed.

”

She perched on the edge of the bed, tenderly caressing Melina’s cheek, but her words were chilling.

“You must prove useful to your father so we can maintain our standing in the family.

If he brings that illegitimate daughter into the household, our position will be compromised.

”

Staring intently at Melina, she continued, “By marrying into the Mitchell family, you ensure the union between our families.

You’ll still hold value to him.

”

To the outside world, the Glyn family’s daughter seemed to lead a glamorous life, but behind closed doors, she was a puppet, her strings tightly controlled by her family’s ambitions.

Melina’s bitter laugh echoed in the room.

“Mom, am I just some pawn in your game?”

Mrs.

Glyn showed no sign of guilt.

“Darling, in high society, it’s all about benefits.

If you lose your value as a marital asset, we will discard you.

That’s the harsh reality.
